At the first hearing Friday on the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the NCP for vacating the judgment of the Gauhati High Court, the Supreme Court has fixed April 21 as the final date of hearing.
This was confirmed to Nagaland Post by secretary general state NCP unit Maithu Krose who was present at the first hearing held Friday.
The SLP (Civil) No. 3335/2015 hearing was held at the Supreme Court “CAUSELIST for Friday the 13th February 2015, Court No. 7 (of Justice J. Chelameswar and Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman).”
The case involves the petitioner (NCP) represented by Er. T.L. Semdok Vs Imtilemba Sangtam and Ors. Advocate Amit Kumar is to represent the petitioner(s) and Advocate Mohinder Jit Singh for the respondents.
It may be recalled that the Gauhati High Court had overturned the disqualification of the Nagaland Assembly Speaker on three former NCP legislators who merged with the BJP.
The three former NCP MLAs-Dr. T. M Lotha, Imtilemba Sangtam and Mmhonlumo Kikon-claimed merger with BJP on June 16, 2014.
The disqualification by the Speaker was set aside by the Kohima bench and the principal of the Gauhati High Court. Later again the NCP took the case to the Supreme Court through SLP against the high court judgement.
